running out of tricks

answering an exam where you dont know the answer is like pulling a rabbit from a hat. pulling a rabbit from a hat doesnt make sense yet its amusing to watch. thats the same way i see it when i take an exam and i dont know the answer. i give an answer that doesnt make any sense but for some reason, the answer is worth some credit (it doesnt necessarily mean that the answer must be amusing but merely not a complete waste of time for the one checking it. the answer is worth giving some thought). and like the magic trick, its like pulling an answer out of nowhere and try to make it presentable.

unfortunately, that wasnt the case a while ago when i took the exam. i wasnt able to pull a rabbit from the hat and even if i managed to do it, i dont think my professor would like a magic trick.
